Baroque period focuses on applying techniques that makes immobile pictures come to life. Motion is emphasized in paintings ans sculptures during this era. This era is composed of 5 elements motion, time, light, space and theatricality.
The artwork above entitle "Happy Accidents of Swing" by Jean-Honore Fragonard is a vivid example of a painting in the Baroque period. Motion is present because we can seethe movement of the girl and her dress. There's theatricality because the viewers can see the story behind the painting. Of all the painting in this era this is my favorite because realistic approach of the artist in the current scenario.
This era I don't think I mean before studying this period I haven't think or did some artwork with lots of motion with drama. But having learned that it is really amazing how you connect things like that to show a story in a still image, that's so amazing! I want to apply this more styles or techniques of this era on my other artworks.
